Which is better? I'm looking for the 905r but can't seem to find one that has the shaft in it that i want, but in looking on titleist's website and Erik's review, they seem to be the same club, but the 907d2 is more forgiving. Give me the pros and cons of both, thanks!

Everyone I personally know who has used both prefers the 905R. The D2 is widely considered a "flop" (that's the word a Titleist staffer I know used.) For what it's worth, I tried the D2 and didn't care for it. And IMHO, it didn't feel like a more forgiving 905R. But I've never been a Titleist driver guy, so YMMV.

If you prefer the 905R and just can't find the shaft you want, maybe you should consider waiting until the fall when the 909 line is scheduled to come out. Rumor has it than it's a good driver that is based on the 905. The D2 is the 460cc head, while the D3 is the 440cc head. Hope this helps.

I try them both and I pick the 905R. I like more the shape of the 905R and the sound is adictive.

Regards.

I've never tried 905R. The 907D2 I demo-ed few times left no impression on me at all. From other forum than thesandtrap choose 905R over 907D2. Even the cover boy of Titleist, Adam Scott (and many more) went back to 905R although he covers it with D2 headcover.

      Athletic Motion Golf Video Featuring Our Own Erik Barzeski

      By boogielicious · Posted

      The first issue Erik spoke about is something we worked on for my swing during both GEARS sessions. GEARS was showing my pelvis center moving towards the ball during the back swing. I wasn’t the 4” guy though! This forced me to correct on the downswing to give myself space. My hip rotation was to high as well. We corrected it by first getting the weight off my heels in my stance and getting my posture correct. Then the feel was shifting back into my right hip at a 45 degree angle. This kept my pelvis center from moving towards the ball at the start of the backswing. I also didn’t sway back as much as I felt I did because of the angle I was shifting. Feel Ain’t Real. The cool thing about GEARS is as you work on something you can see the exact (Real) change happening. On video, it is much harder to spot this issue because of the 2D nature of filming. But I know what to look for now. Sadly, I was hurt all last year and most of this year so I really haven’t been able to work on it much. I did do a lot of backswing work though.
